Can anyone give me a cherry pie recipe?
I just picked fresh cherries from my cherry tree but the problem is their kinda bitter/sour (They're perfectly ripe though). Can anyone give me a recipe that's insanel detailled, from making the crust all the way to baking?
thanks

Cherry Pie
INGREDIENTS
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
2 1/2 cups pitted sour cherries
3/4 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch salt
DIRECTIONS
Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry.
Mix sugar, flour, and salt; toss with cherries, mixing well. Pour cherry filling into pie shell, and dot with butter or margarine.
Weave strips of pastry into a lattice top.
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes
Basic Flaky Pie Crust
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening, chilled
3 tablespoons ice water
DIRECTIONS
Whisk the flour and salt together in a medium size bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the cold shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons ice water over flour. Toss mixture with a fork to moisten, adding more water a few drops at a time until the dough comes together.
Gently gather dough particles together into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
Roll out dough, and put in a pie plate. Fill with desired filling and bake.
